Home Again, Home Again....


We miss it already.
.

It's hard to leave Grandma's house behind.
So we'll remember it with a few pictures.

She lives in the country.
.

Not like this. This is really the country. (and don't you SO wish those black wires weren't cluttering up this picture?)
.

And not like this, although this can be found around the corner from Grandma's house. We found it on a country drive. When you visit Grandma's, you find yourself doing things like going on country drives, and having taste tests of bread and butter pickles, and buying yarn.
.

But Grandma's yard is country enough for us.
.

You can weed the garden sitting on a milking stool. (who is that? whoever it is, they should get a ribbon for those lily- white calves).


You can jump over things...
.


And out of things. (Here's the true blue ribbon winner--perfect 10 on the toe point).
.


Or you can keep it simple. With a twist.
.


You kin fetch some ice-cold sody-pop....
.


For brother up a tree.
.

And all the while you are there, you can see touches of beauty that Grandma has placed to light up the yard.
It's a wonderful place to
be.

Those pictures are gorgeous!! I miss the east coast so much.

Glad you had such a wonderful vacation with so many memories.

Philip and Andrew are going to stay with their grandpa in Philly in October. I hope they have as much fun as your kids did.
